minimizing the risk faced by family offices

According to Warren Buffet, "it takes years to build a reputation and only minutes to destroy one." In protecting and nurturing a family's wealth for future generations, an efficient family office represents the frontline of this delicate endeavor. In a conventional setting the family office is comprised of tax advisors, lawyers, top investment advisors and public relations specialists to provide the relevant direction and guidance. In the past decade, with business intelligence consultants becoming a fixture in hte corporate world, family offices have also recognized their value and need.

In ligt of increasing investment opportunities in a globalized economy, complex regulatory environment, rising fraudulent activities, outsourcing intelligence collection to a bespoke investigative company has seldom been more appropriate for the modern, efficient family office. Investment opportunities may be traditional ones or ones of a different kind, such as a potential marriage into a family with its own legacy in the corporate world. As such, maximizing awareness prior to the investment, allows for informed decisions, thus minimizing potential risks.

Most family offices value discretion and seek to maintain anonymity in their investments; however this does not preclude them from taking basic precautions. Outsourcing to a third party business intelligence provider on an "as needed" service reduces costs and provides the family offices with higher level expertise through specialists who understand discretion and the nuances of human, intelligence-driven research to provide a rounded and corroborated intelligence picture.
